Curtain rod falls on dogs head

My dog was chewing on the bottom of a curtain last night and brought the whole curtain rod down. It hit him on the head because he yelped 3 times. He is a basset hound and is keeping one of his eyes closed. It is tearing a bit, but there is no blood or anything. I'm not sure exactly where the rod hit him. It isn't an extremely heavy rod, but it isn't light either. Should I give it a few days to see if it clears up? Or could it be more serious?

I personaly would wait. but thats me I always wait a couple of days, dogs usually heal up well by them selves. My poodle got bit in the eye this summer but she was pregnant so I couldn't do anything. The vet said all kind of stuff like she was gonna go blind he called in a eye specialist and she said she was deffinitly gonna loose the eye. I was gonna have to operate on her as soon as the pups where old enough to eat on there own... So I had no choice but to wait, before the puppies where born her eye had healed on it's own...
